USA, Italy and Spain took the runners-up group spots after finishing 2-1 to advance to the tournament's knockout rounds.  Argentina and Germany both qualified for the final eight of the competition as the two best third-placed teams.

For the draw, the three winners of the groups and the USA, who were the second-placed team with the best result from the initial phase, were placed in one pot. The 2 remaining second-placed teams and 2 best third-placed teams were placed in the other pot.

Teams from the same group in the Group Phase could not be drawn against each other in the Quarter-Finals. This stage of the competition is played in a single-elimination game knockout format with the draw producing the Olympic bracket pathway to the gold medal.
